Pier One to Pottery Barn Trunk Makeover

A client brought in this Pier One trunk/coffee table to be painted. They wanted the finished product to be in the style of Pottery Barn furniture. The result was just what they envisioned. Now this updated, custom painted trunk/coffee table is ready to go back home and give them years of service.

Quick Mirror Update


Let me share how I gave this old mirror a new look.


Someone had tried to update it in the past but think tape or wear gave it a beat up look.

After cleaning it well I applied 2 coats of Fusion Mineral Paint in Champlain, a pretty warm white.


My next plan was to use Fusion's gilding paste in gold (discontinued) and apply it to my new Indian Inlay stencil from Cutting Edge Stencils however once I tried the paste was too thin to work as a stencil medium. Instead I wiped it on via fingertip on the frame.


Then I added Fusion Mineral Paint's ageing wax to the frame to give an aged look to compliment the soft aged gold. The farmhouse style jewelry box was painted similarly.


It is such a pretty update to create a classic beauty just like this sweet pumpkin updated in the same color.
